history
• While the most descriptive accounts of the Gardens come from Greek historians such as Berossus and Diodorus Siculus,Babylonian records stay silent on the matter.Tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar do not have a single reference to the Hanging Gardens,although descriptions of his palace, the city of Babylon, and the walls are found.Even the historians who give detailed descriptions of the Hanging Gardens never saw them.

• The approach to the Garden sloped like a hillside and the several parts of the structure rose from one another tier on tier...On all this, the earth had been piled...and was thickly planted with trees of every kind that, by their great size and other charm, gave pleasure to the beholder...The water machines(raised) the water in great abundance from the river, although no one outside could see it. ——Diodorus Siculus • 通往花园的道路象山坡一 样倾斜着，建筑物的几个 部分一层一层地向上交错 排列着……泥土在这些上 面堆积着……并且浓密地 种植着各种各样的树木， 它们以其巨大的身躯和其 他一些魅力，令观赏者赏 心悦目……抽水的机器把 大量的水从河中（提升到） 上面，尽管没有人从外面 能看到它。 ——Diodorus Siculus

• 虽然对花园最详尽的记述是出 自Berossus 和 Diodorus Siculus等希 腊历史学家笔下, 但巴比伦的历 史记录却对此事只字未提。尽 管在尼布甲尼撒时期存留下的 各种书写板上发现了对他的宫 殿、巴比伦城以及巴比伦的城 墙的种种描述，但这些书写板 上却没有一处提到过空中花园。 甚至那些对空中花园进行过详 细描述的历史学家们也从没有 亲眼目睹过它们。
